Marcus Sims continued a family tradition when he signed with Florida State in 2006 out of North Florida Christian.

But the fullback will finish his career at the University of North Alabama where he will be part of Terry Bowden's program already full of FSU connections. Sims transferred to the Division II school where ex-Seminoles Preston Parker and Will Furlong are on the roster and former FSU offensive coordinator Jeff Bowden and former FSU tight end Pat Carter are on the coaching staff as volunteers.
